"Bombscare" is a track from the 1991 album Hold It Down by 2 Bad Mice.
It makes heavy use of samples, taking drumbeats then chopping and rearranging them to create a distinctive musical style. The main sample heard is from the song "Don't Mess with This Beat" by Neon; other samples for the breakbeat are from "Let Me Love You (Rebuilt)" by Kariya.[citation needed]
A single was released in the UK in 1996 featuring several remixes of the song. It peaked at No. 46 on the UK Singles Chart.[1]
Alexis Petridis, writing for The Guardian in 2020, listed "Bombscare" at number one in his list of his 25 best early '90s breakbeat hardcore tracks.[2]
